A cursory search says that it's Julie Kruis. It also pulled up results for Julia Kruis and Julie Kris. Unfortunately, I am unable to confirm if all these names belong to the woman in the your picture. Hopefully, this aids you in search.

Hey guys, I'm a newbie here, but this is one thread I can definitely help out with. I was a huge Julie Kruis fan in the late 80s when she was a bikini model, in contests and in Ujena magazine and Swimwear Illustrated.

She was born in January of 1969. Her bikini magazines started coming out in 1987, when she was the ripe old age of 18.

Within a year or two, she somehow hooked up with photographer Hank Londoner (aka Hank Von Londoner), who shot her for Penthouse editions which hit the stands in 1989, when she was 20. At the time, I didn't know about her nude work. Looking back now, I want to kill myself. But what can you do. Anyway, I tracked down the German Penthouse, November of 1989. Sara Norton was the centerfold, and Julie was featured in one of the pictorials. I have scanned them for you guys. They are a bit different than the two photo sets which were linked to earlier in this thread, but they were obviously shot at the same location.

These pictures are very tame, compared to the slightly more graphic open-leg shots that were posted in the Australian edition. Were/are there rules from country to country as to how explicit a magazine shoot can be? Obviously, seeing more daring, explicit "gyno shots" of Julie Kruis would be mind-blowing. I just have no idea if Hank took those kind of pics of her, or if she would have even agreed to show pink anyway, since she was still active in the bikini modeling world at the time. Don't get me wrong... I'm thrilled that we even got THIS much. But if he took a shitload more pics of her, and I didn't at least try to find them, I would never forgive myself.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Was she in different editions of Penthouse in various other countries? I'm willing to spend the money (and I will happily share the results here again), but I have no clue where to begin looking. Plus, Penthouse had other sister-magazines out at that time which she may have appeared in. I'm lost here.

Also, for that time period, it seems rare that a non-centerfold would only be in Penthouse. For instance, you'd often see the same girls in Cheri, High Society, Penthouse, Hustler, etc. Is there any chance that Julie shot for a "harder" magazine? This has become my Holy Grail mission. I just need a push in the right direction.

Lastly, take a look at these side-by-side pics. On the left was from her first movie in 1990, where she was briefly topless. On the right was from a movie about a decade later, when she appeared in many B-flicks, now as "Julia" Kruis. I'm more interested in 1987-1992 Julie. She didn't age particularly well.

Anyway, sorry for rambling. It was a lot of typing, but if just one person can help, it was worth it.

I tracked down the German Penthouse, August of 1989. Sara Norton was the centerfold, and Julie was featured in one of the pictorials.

Hello maxbling. Thanks for the info. & pics.

Sara Norton was POM in Penthouse (De), 1989-11, and that is the issue in which Julie Kruis also appeared, not 1989-08. Sara Norton was POM in Penthouse (US), 1989-08, so maybe that's where you got the idea it was August rather than November?

Thanks Cup! Yes, I had mixed up the German and U.S. editions, but then I saw my mistake last night and edited the post.

Also, I'm aware of her vast adult work as "Julia" Kruis, but again, by that time she didn't have her amazing youthful looks and petite frame. I'm more interested in the early "Julie" era.

It would be awesome if we could all put our heads together and find more young Julie content. I actually reached out to Hank Londoner last night, hoping to buy all of her pics from him. He obviously submitted them to Penthouse, but I believe most photogs keep copies of their work for themselves also.

His website was HankLondoner dot com, but it's defunct now. I went to the Internet Wayback Machine and found a Yahoo email address for him. I have no idea whether he still uses it or not. If that fails, it looks like he was on Model Mayhem as recently as last month.

I'm not a MM member though, so I cannot contact him that way. He is probably sitting on some LEGENDARY Julie photos. HQ original pics, too. Not crappy magazine scans. This guy holds the key to our happiness. Just a matter of contacting him, and his willingness to sell them.

Ughhh... I bought all 12 issues of Penthouse (United States) from 1989 on eBay. She is nowhere to be found. I figured if she was in the 11/89 German Penthouse, there was a good chance she was in the U.S. version at some point that year. MAYBE she only agreed to pose nude for Hank on the condition that she would not appear in the U.S. issue, since she was still a mainstream bikini model at the time. And this was wayyyyy before the internet, so it would have been extremely difficult to find out about. Hell, I was her biggest fan and I had no idea about all of this until a few years ago. So if that was indeed her plan, it worked like a charm.
